Expressing or conveying disapproval or condemnation.
From 'disapprobation' + '-ory' (adjective suffix meaning 'of or relating to'). This creates another adjectival form that describes something characterized by disapprobation.
Here's a fascinating quirk: English has two perfectly good adjective forms—'disapprobative' and 'disapprobatory'—but nobody uses either! This shows how language naturally selects simpler words ('disapproving') even when more formal alternatives exist.
